Hungary blocking shipments of weapons to Ukraine from its territory

Sorry to be polemical, but

IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEE!!!

It's sad but those are the regs and tills are adjusted not to accept more, same with paracetamol, only two allowed, I'm sure there are other medications with the same restrictions but as I don't use them I don't really know.
As far as I can see the only way around is to get the chemists involved, they can purchase the stuff and then make arrangement to have it sent to the correct distribution centre.

The regulations reduced accidental overdoses by 40%, well worth a minor inconvenience. Where was he going to send this medicine?

Humanitarian aid worker: Alright, mate! We've got some nappies, Tampax, Calpol...
Ukrainian: My leg is falling off and the Russians burnt my flat to the ground but, fine, I'll take some Tampax, please.

Jesus.

Shocking

Do it now, not when Putin attacks a NATO member.

Awe come on Zammers, those kids were a threat to Russian security and the peacekeeping mission has to be robust, just think about it, the more kids you get rid of the fewer future invaders there will be.

Still not sure how he's going to ship his Calpol to wherever. It's the law, that prevents 600 deaths a year.

Peacekeeping ....

For all the bullshit about dinghies, invasion by migrants etc it's refreshing to see a Tory MP call out his own goverment for designing the worst refugee visa scheme in Europe for Ukrainians. I can only assume they have made it so shit as not to upset Farage's mates. The no visa waiver for people will Ukrainian passports is the best way to go and eventually the goverment will be shamed into it - it's just sad they need to be shamed into it.

Peacekeeping ....

It is hard to see how Russia can ever be welcomed back into the international community, with or without Putin.

They have become a pariah state & memories live long.

They certainly won't be trusted for a very long time.

It will take decades before relations return to pre-Ukraine invasion levels.

What's been interesting is the reinvigoration of EU foreign policy and NATO commitments. Germany, for example, is committed to spending $77bn a year on its military capacity. That's 30% more than the current UK spend - making them the #1 in Europe in military spend. In 2015 Germany was 19th in spending as a propotion of GDP in Nato. This is a complete reversal of its military policy for the last 30 years.

Russia has woken up the West and they seem to be reacting very well.

So now that they want to boycott Russian oil, the Americans have realised that they may well have to un-sanction Venezuelan oil. What a joke.

Memories are, indeed, long, and parts of the Ukraine were once in Poland which is why the Polish people align themselves with the Ukraine, Lviv, or Lwow was in Poland as was Wilno or Vilnius. The older generation hates the Russians with a passion and there still those alive who remember the last WW and wont believe a word the Russians say about anything.
The Russians aren't above a bit of war crimes anyway, the Katyn massacre being one notable incident which the Russians tried to blame Germany for which Germany vehemently denied.

The UK goverment is fucking awful. if these people had family in any EU or EFTA country they could simply get on a train and go live with them. The Uk has them queuing out in -3 degrees. Shameful.
